Shen Qingzhou asked County Magistrate Jiang to stay with him. In the future, Shen Qingzhou's official rank would be higher than that of the county magistrate, so County Magistrate Jiang would not dare to disrespect Shen Qingzhou.

All the waiters and chefs from Nanxinglou and its branches came, and the dinner almost filled the entire Wushan Village.

The chili dishes that Nanxinglou and Lin Ting collaborated on have made the restaurant the most famous in several nearby counties.

Here today, you can eat as much food as you want and drink as much wine as you want, and Lin Ting will pay the bill.

......

After the dinner, those who stayed to help left, and there were only three families sitting in the living room of the Shen residence.

Lin Ting’s family, Shen Zhuxiong’s family, and the village chief’s family.

Yang Yongnian and others also returned to Wenzhu County. The bigger Hua Yan got, the busier the canteen they booked became.

"Village Chief, and Second Uncle, thank you all for your hard work today."

Shen Qingzhou stood up and bowed. He was sincerely grateful. This time he returned home in glory not to show off, but to bring Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu back to live in the capital.

"Qingzhou, we are all very happy today. We in Wushan Village are honored that you have been able to become the top scorer."

Now that Wushan peppers are available in Wushan Village, everyone is living a good life. Some are getting married, and some are building new houses.

Brother Shen Zu also had a smile on his face. He had mistaken fish eyes for pearls before, but now he was able to experience the feeling of being a member of a high-ranking official's family.

"Qingzhou, you passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. I heard that His Majesty also appointed you as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official.

Do you have any other plans when you come back this time? Are your third brother and his wife going to live in the capital with you? "

With the dividends from Wushan peppers, Brother Shen Zu is now considered a wealthy man in the village. After getting the money, his family is harmonious, his sons and daughters-in-law are filial, and there are no more trivial matters.

Now that he has achieved financial satisfaction, he begins to value family ties. He would be reluctant to see Shen Dali leave.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at Lin Ting. He and Lin Ting had indeed discussed this matter.

"I do have this idea. From now on, when I am in the court, my parents will go to the capital with us, and it will be convenient for Lin Ting and I to take care of them."

Lin Ting nodded. This was one of the points. The private schools in the capital were also better. Shen Wanyi would have better resources if he went there to study.

Lin Ting owns most of the shares of Wushan Chili. If the Shen family members are not here, it is still unknown what will happen to Wushan Chili in the future.

Therefore, the village chief must be the first to know whether Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu will stay or go.

"Shen Dali, Yang, what do you think about this?"

Shen Qingzhou has to go back to take up his post and he doesn't have much time left, so this matter needs to be decided as soon as possible.

Shen Dali's face was calm. He was naturally happy that his son became a high-ranking official. However, the capital was surrounded by high mountains and long roads, and he could not recognize a few words.

"Qingzhou, your mother and I are used to living in Wushan Village. We feel uncomfortable if we don't work in the fields for a day.

We can't stay in a prosperous place like the capital. Your mother and I have thought about it. We are not unable to move now, so we will stay in Wushan Village for now.

If I really reach the age of being bedridden, I will go to be with you. Besides, there is someone to cook for us at home now.

The business here is managed by Manager An, and there are also people taking care of the things on the farm, so we are not tired.

I feel happy when I see the things I planted, from seeds to sprouts and then to fruits.

You have your own things to do in the capital, and we can’t get used to wearing fancy clothes all day long.”

Yang Xiuxiu also nodded. They had people to serve them at home. Besides, they had lived in Wushan Village all their lives. Now they had food to eat and clothes to wear, and they were already very satisfied.

"Dad, Mom, we still have a few days. You can take your time to think about it. There's no need to rush to answer."

Although there were people at home, Shen Qingzhou was somewhat worried because the two old people were not around.

"Don't think about it!" Yang Xiuxiu rushed to speak.

"We have decided to stay in Wushan Village from now on. Your father grows peppers and crops, and I am now working in the Wushan pepper workshop. Every day is very fulfilling.

Now if I just eat, drink and sleep every day, then I feel that life has no meaning."

After Yang Xiuxiu learned to read from Shen Wanyi's teacher, she was able to understand many orders at the Wushan Chili Workshop.

She also learned how to calculate and managed the Wushan chili workshop, becoming an expert at it. For her, this was the peak of her career, and even if Shen Dali went to the capital, she would not go with him.

The village chief and Aunt Jiang were reluctant to let them go, but no matter what, they could not stop Shen Dali and the others' decision.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wanyi must go to the capital with us. The capital has everything good, and the climate is also great. Don't you really want to think about it?"

After working, Yang Xiuxiu realized how capable Lin Ting was, and she admired him very much.

"No, Lin Ting, we can't help you much even if we go there. It's better for us to stay in Wushan Village, where we can still be of some use."

After a night of conversation, they were unable to convince the two old men, so they had to leave when they returned to the capital.

From now on, Shen Wanyi will be a daughter of an official family. Only by going to the capital can she adapt to her future life more quickly.

At the end, Li Boxi began to explain work matters to Lin Ting. Wushan peppers were selling very well.

Many merchants from other places came to place orders, and the orders were queued up for two years.

"Lin Ting, you brought in all these merchants. Now the Wushan pepper business is booming."

Li Boxi earned as much money as others earned in several years in just half a year. Now he has a new house and his children go to school. His life is becoming more and more promising.

"This bill is well done, but Brother Li, Wushan peppers have been in stock for several batches recently, so don't give them all to external merchants at once."

Li Boshi was puzzled. Why did they still have to stock up on goods when they had so many orders? Wasn't this a conflict?

"Lin Ting, it's not good to have goods but not send them to customers."

Lin Ting shook his head: "No, these batches of inventory will bring us more business in the future, you just have to listen to me."

Li Boshi believed Lin Ting that she must have received some information to do such an unreasonable thing.

"Lin Ting, have you heard any news? Will this news have an impact on Wushan Chili?"

As long as Wushan Chili is fine, Li Boxi is willing to do anything.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a war in the border town soon, and food will be scarce. Wushan peppers will definitely be a popular food there.

Also, in recent years, the imperial court has encouraged everyone to plant more corn and rice. If you encounter high prices for grain, it is best not to be jealous. Leave enough for yourself to eat and sell the rest."

That was all Lin Ting could say. The next few years would definitely not be peaceful.

Li Boshi was shocked. Is there going to be another war?

"I understand. We can't control others, but our village will never go back to the way it was before. You can rest assured about this, Lin Ting."
